When must a business register for GST?

A supplier of goods in Tamil Nadu must register once aggregate turnover crosses ₹40 lakh in a financial year, and a supplier of services once it crosses ₹20 lakh (section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017). Some businesses must register regardless of turnover, including those making inter-state supplies of goods and those liable to pay tax under reverse charge (section 24). Small businesses can choose the composition scheme up to ₹1.5 crore of turnover (section 10).

Which returns are filed, and how often?

Regular taxpayers file GSTR-1 for outward supplies and GSTR-3B for tax payment, monthly or quarterly under the QRMP scheme if aggregate turnover is up to ₹5 crore. The annual return GSTR-9 is optional up to ₹2 crore of turnover, and a self-certified reconciliation statement GSTR-9C is required above ₹5 crore. E-invoicing applies above ₹5 crore of turnover, and an e-way bill is needed to move goods worth more than ₹50,000.

How are GST notices and appeals handled?

Demands for periods up to 2023-24 are raised under section 73 (no fraud) or section 74 (fraud or suppression); from 2024-25 they come under section 74A. We reconcile your returns with GSTR-2B and your books, draft the reply and attend the hearing.

If an order goes against you, the first appeal lies to the Appellate Authority under section 107 within three months, with a pre-deposit of the admitted tax and 10% of the disputed tax. A second appeal lies to the GST Appellate Tribunal under section 112 within three months, with a further pre-deposit of 10% of the tax still in dispute.

What Businesses in Different Parts of Tiruchirappalli Need

Village areas

Fresh agricultural produce is outside GST, but rice mills, oil mills, agri-traders and dairy units selling processed or branded goods usually need registration. We work out which of your sales are taxable before registering.

Residential neighbourhoods

Small businesses and freelancers here usually ask whether they need to register at all. Below the threshold, registration is optional unless you sell inter-state goods or on certain e-commerce platforms.

Factories and industrial estates

Factories here mostly need help with input credit on capital goods, goods sent out for job work under section 143 (returned within one year for inputs and three years for capital goods), and reconciling supplier invoices with GSTR-2B before claiming credit.

Colleges and universities

Many services to and by educational institutions are exempt, while canteens, hostels run by contractors and other suppliers may be taxable. We check each contract before deciding on registration.

Courts, collectorates and offices

Professionals here register for GST once their receipts cross ₹20 lakh. Legal services from an advocate to a business are taxed under reverse charge, so the business client pays the GST.

Markets and bazaars

Traders here need monthly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B on time, e-way bills for every consignment above ₹50,000, and input credit that matches GSTR-2B. Credit mismatches are the commonest reason for notices, so we reconcile before every return.

Airport and port areas

Importers here pay IGST on imports at the customs stage and take credit for it; exporters can export under a letter of undertaking or pay IGST and claim a refund. We keep shipping bills and the GST returns matched so refunds are not held up.
